The Pistons have unexpectedly become a juggernaut, they have size, depth and a variety of two way wings and guards.

They have used 12 men tonight vs The Bucks (alas something Joe would never do lol)

I am prepared to concede the Eastern Conference to them this season, esp as Duren is healthy and playing like a beast and Cade is still yet to reach his all star level ability so far.

Flacco looks like he might have dislocated his finger?

And Haliburton is a guy declared out for the season.

The recovery period for athletes in this era of medicine is different from what it was a decade ago.

Tatum's been dunking like since last September?

I don't know what would be the trade, but both LAC and NOP are on tract to give up an unprotected lottery pick in the upcoming draft

I'd think one of these teams would be the most likely to make a move for Lavine

If you ask me, Lavine may end up solidifying that high lottery position. Not sure what he does for winning. Still have no idea how his salary will be able to be fit in. And what teams will actually offer as an asset.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Yea, I'm not a Zach Lavine guy, but I think the Clippers/pelicans just have to do something to hopefully not hand over a top 5 pick in the draft coming up. Not that Zach Lavine will change that destiny necessarily but even if it does no good, the teams can atleast sell to their fans they at least tried to do something

They had a 45-point 1st quarter.

Kispert went off in the 1st quarter with 4 3-pointers.

Sixers about to lose big to the Magic.

The east is wide open.
